About this Quote

This quote by Jim Carrey speaks to the concept that money can be a limitation to someone like him due to the fact that it can result in self-criticism. He is recommending that when you have a lot of money, you start to think about the financial worth of your work and become overly crucial of yourself. This can be a harmful mindset to have due to the fact that it can lead to an absence of imagination and an absence of motivation. Cash can be an excellent thing, however it can also be an obstacle if it leads to self-criticism. Carrey is suggesting that it is essential to be aware of the prospective dangers of having a lot of money and to be conscious of how it can affect your creative process.
